Hi Stuart, if you would like to look in the links only section of resources there are a number of online databases for plants recognition and ID.

Collins Gem do a good handbook if I can find mine I'll edit this post with an ISBN number.

The Collins Guide "How to Identify Trees" by Patrick Harding and Gill Tomblin ISBN no 0 00 2200678 is a great place to start Stuart - about A5 in size so easy to slip into you pack - lots of good illustrations

The one I like is 'The Field Guide to the Trees and Shrubs of Britain'.
